because I am not hungry at all, however when I left the house today I started seeing mcdonalds billboards and smelling all the aromas of the nearby restaurants! Then I started to want to eat all these bad foods again! Geesh!

Do any of you have these struggles!

I m 5 weeks out and I had to have a fry at McDonald's one fry and I was set gave them all to my grandson . But the temptation is over

I think we all do. Our brains didnt get changed...just our tummys. I make sure not to say that I CANT ever have the tempting foods. If I want it then I will have it, just about 1/4 of the amount I used to eat, and then I make sure that I watch what I have for the rest of the day. I had a very tiny piece of chocolate cake last week, and after about 2 bites my craving was eased and I threw the rest away.....yup thats right...I threw it away! lol

the more we say we cant have it the more we want it. just use moderation....good luck!

Lol that is what I thought about mcd fries... Just 1!! Well when I can I will indulge! Thanks.

I am currently 12 weeks out, and my temptations are still there. After being advised pre-surgery that I shouldn't eat rice, noodles, or bread for at least a year or longer, or really -- ever. I almost flipped inside my head. I'm now okay if I never eat rice or noodles again, but the smell of bread (any kind) makes me go a little koo-koo. Just last week some co-workers were toasting bagels in the office kitchen that were left over from a meeting and it drove me nuts that I had to take a breather outside.

So true about our brains not changing. I wonder if therapy would help with this?
